MEMPHIS, MO -Recently, the board of directors of the Scotland County Hospital approved the slate of officers for the Hospital's Medical Staff. Jeff Davis, DO, will serve as the Chief of Staff; Randy Tobler, MD, will serve as the Vice Chief of Staff and Julia McNabb, DO, will serve as the Secretary. These physicians will officially take office in April.

The officers of the Medical Staff coordinate activities and concerns of the hospital administration, nursing, and other patient care services with those of the Medical Staff. The Medical Staff officers are responsible for the quality and efficiency of the out-patient services and effectiveness of patient care at the Hospital.

The Chief of Staff is accountable to the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Hospital. The Chief of Staff communicates issues of the Medical Staff to the Board, CEO, and other officials of the staff as well as enforcing the Medical Staff bylaws, rules and regulations.

"We currently have the most comprehensive Medical Staff that we've ever had and the executive officers, staff, board of directors and I work well together and plan for the future by looking at the needs of the community. For a rural hospital, the talent on our Medical Staff is phenomenal," said Marcia Dial, CEO.
